Last Man Standing: Season Three Ratings

Published: May 10, 2014

Friday’s can be a tough night to attract an audience but ABC’sLast Man Standing survived last season. Will the ratings grow or fall in season three? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a fourth year? Time will tell.

The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Final season averages: 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.27 million total viewers.

Last year comparison: The second season of Last Man Standing averaged a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 6.93 million total viewers.

Note: These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

What do you think? Do you still like the Last Man Standing TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?

Thematically this is one show that has improved season over season, but seems to have lost viewers even as it gained a conservative and distinctive viewpoint. Overall it would be a shame if it gets cancelled, rather than penalizing it by leaving it on Friday nights and surrounding it with weaker shows, they should be moving it and pairing up it up with something more compatible.
